  1. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    Many years ago a number of men were coming along a road. They were taking happily when suddenly one of them stopped and asked the cause of that dog having fire in his eyes. The others asked "What dog" they could see no dog. He went as on seeing the dog till he fainted. His friends carried him into a cottage, when he came to himself. That night he fell very ill and with in a week he was dead and buried.
